09 NOVEMBER 2004 - TAPACHULA, CHIAPAS, MEXICO: Carlos Lopez Perez, 12, right, and an adult pick through the garbage in the municipal garbage dump in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. About 130 people, the poorest of the poor in Tapachula, work in the dump picking through the garbage hoping to find tidbits they can use or sell to brokers who sit on the edge of the dump and resell the garbage. Most of the dump workers are Guatemalan migrants who crossed the border hoping, at one time, to get to the United States. Now they have settled for an existence on the very edge of Mexican society.
